By 2004, dance music was in commercial decline, replaced by a resurgence of guitar bands.<ref name="The Independent" /> That year, Cook released his fourth album, ''[[Palookaville (album)|Palookaville]]''. It sold far fewer copies than his previous albums, which Cook credited to its more obscure musical style. Cook said he was "happy to take my foot off the gas for a bit" and receive less tabloid attention.<ref name="Petridis-2009" /> 

After the ''Big Beach Boutique II'' DVD became a bestseller in Brazil, Cook played to an estimated 360,000 people in Rio in 2004. He returned many times in the following years, and performed on the reality TV show ''[[Big Brother Brasil]]'' in 2005.<ref name="Whitehurst-2014" /> His 2007 tour was released on DVD as ''Adventures'' ''in Brazil''.<ref name="Whitehurst-2014" />
